➢ To estimate Power system losses
➢ To perform contingency analysis

Problem Statement
Figure 1(below) shows the one-line diagram of a simple three-bus power system with generation at
buses 1 and 2. The voltage at bus 1 is per unit. Voltage magnitude at bus 2 is fixed at 1.05
p.u with a real power generation of 400 MW. A load consisting of 500 MW and 400 Mvar is taken
from bus 3. Line admittances are marked in per unit on a 100 MVA base. For the purpose of
calculations, line resistances and line charging susceptance’s are neglected.
Based on transmission line parameters given in diagram build a verified MATLAB/Simulink/PWS
model of transmission line.

The goal is to deliver 500MW power through transmission lines continuously

a) What capacity (MVA rating) of transmission lines would be required to avoid blackout
b) Another area is supplied by the load bus having variable load which ranges from 500-700 MW
with a step change of 20MW. Now estimate line Flows and line losses for each step change and
suggest which transmission line is to be replaced and with what rating to avoid transmission
line damaging and partial OR complete black out.
c) Make a comparison table between load increase the losses of transmission lines. Suggest any
remedy to decrease the losses.
d) If for maintenance purposes transmission line between bus 1 and 2 is separated what will be
new stresses on each transmission line with above (part a) calculated capacity
